Haircut

Rambut Adam dah panjang sangat.. So its time for a haircut.. Ni first time Adam potong rambut dekat barber.. before this at a hair saloon near the house.. so cute bile Adam sengetkan kepala to getaway from the barber everytime the barber start nak potong rambut..

Bowling Time

While relaxing on one of the weekends sajela tanye Adam where he wanted to go or do? Jawapannya "Adam nak bowling".. request tu.. The nearest is Wangsa Walk Mall and we've never been to WWM's bowling alley..

WWM's bowling alley ni best sebab byk seating for supporters and size kasut utk kids Adam's age ada.. But gutter railing tak boleh raised.. too bad for Adam.. memang gutter ball all the way.. dah lame tak main pon..

So he enjoys the game very much.. 2 game die main sorang.. But Dude dapat jugak la played a couple of times.. selit-selit.. itupon mamat kenit ni dah jerit-jerit marah..

One Night in Kota Bharu Part 2

Second day ni hujan dari pagi.. kitorang dapat 1 coupon breakfast.. at first nak bagi the coupon to Dude's friend since die pon ade satu coupon and kitorang nak pegi breakfast outside somemore.. tapi dah hujan ni Dude pegila breakfast kat bawah sementara Adam still tido.. And being the stubborn me.. nak jugak breakfast kat tempat in my list.. that is the must go place for breakfast in KB..

Kopitiam Kita

Bila hujan dah reda je.. kitorang pon pegi la ke Kopitiam Kita.. by that time dah 9++ in the morning.. kalau based on my reading.. dah kira lambat dah tu.. Tempat memang penuh.. so we had to share with a couple.. they're local.. katenye atleast once or twice a month akan breakfast kat sini.. nice couple they are.. mase kitorang sampai kebetulan their order pon sampai.. the house specialty.. Roti Titab.. so I ordered one for us to try.. for Adam I thought of taking a nasi dagang or nasi berlauk ayam for him.. tapi most of the basket dah kosong.. Yang tinggal just nasi berlauk Air Dingin.. ouuhh.. for your guys info.. Kopitiam Kita ni is the place to get all the best breakfast food in Kelantan.. They are tempat berkumpul segala yang sedap-sedap.. dari nasi kerabu, nasi berlauk and nasi dagang.. they have this row of baskey yang akan diisi dengan packeted food.. Sementara tunggu our Roti Titab to arrives I watched the couple at our table eat their roti titab.. Roti Titab is a toasted bread with kaya and a half boiled egg on top.. and they eat by mixing the 3 items together.. sounds gross but the taste is heaven.. you should try..

house special - Roti Titab

Settle at Kopititam Kita, kitorang pon rushed back to the hotel to get ready for the wedding and check out.. we were a bit late dari the targeted itinerary.. since the journey took quite some time what more with the traffic.. memang sampai lambat laa.. sampai Rantau Panjang at the groom's family homestay just a couple of minutes before Zuhur.. and the grooms family is expected at the reception around 2 o'clock.. and kitorang ni kene make a move around that time jugak sebab kene sampai airport before 3 sebab flight pukul 5.. 

Nak dijadikan cerita kitorang memang tak pegi pon reception tu.. by the time family pengantin tu berkumpul at the meeting place dah 2 lebih.. memang tak sempat sangat la.. so mintak maaf to everybosy and salam-salam semua orang and bergerak ke airport.. memang kelakar.. Tapi I've asked Dude before.. dia taknak tukar flight to the next day ke sebab takut tak sempat.. but he refuses sebab takde ape nak buat kat KB.. Memang takde ape sangat nak buat.. the main thing nak buat tak buat which is pegi reception..

Balik tu memang penat la sebab macam rushing kan.. tapi sampai on time to the airport.. what to be a smooth flight back bertukar kepada flight yang menakutkan sebab bad turbulence.. bad weather.. asyik langgar awan jek.. memang nak muntah.. muka Adam pon cuak je.. tapi nasib baik tak buat perangai.. tapi ape ape pon next trip to KB nak lama sikit.. ok Dude?

awan dah tebal.. nak hujan

One Night in Kota Bharu Part 1

A friend of Dude is getting married.. as a good friend marilah kita pergi.. since tak dapat nak attend the reception on his side kitorang decided to be in Rantau Panjang for the bride's reception.. driving is not an option so flying it is.. As a "good" wife I just let Dude do his thing.. from booking the flight and hotel room.. Dude cakap stay 1 night cukup.. macam takde ape nak buat je..katenye..

Our flight around 11 macamtu.. Lucky that we arrived early.. ade something happen.. Before this naik flight kalau pegi oversea and memang bawak passport.. tapi since this is a local flight.. tak bawak la passport kan? tapi still need an identification.. both me and Dude takde masalah.. we have our MyKad.. tapi Adam.. we lost his MyKid couple of months back.. and they have stop the MyKid altogether.. dan.. lady at the counter taknak lepaskan kitorang.. agaknya sebab kesian kot kan.. die kate if there is any identification or any card that have his name on it.. kalau takde kene buat report police and use that as identification.. Punggah lah handbag.. nasib baik jumpe appointment card Adam..so we were good to go..
happy to see planes infront of him

we are on air!

Sampai airport KB dah noon.. then waited for kereta sewa and then isi minyak.. dah Zuhur..perut pon lapar.. so off we go to the 1st place on my list..

waiting for our luggage

Restoran Nasi Ulam Cikgu at Kampung Kraftangan.. Nak cari senang je.. thanx to waze! Yang lambatnyer nak carik parking.. Memang penuh..Dekat restoran tu lagi la penuh.. sorry no picture of the place.. sesak yang amat.. lauk pon tinggal sikit je.. Yang banyak just ulam and the freshly fried ikan keli and ayam kampung that keep on coming.. dan budu juge tak dilupakan.. Kitorang ambik ikan keli & ayam kampung sekor each..ulam & budu.. Dude ambik kuah assam or kari sikit kot.. and then a small jug of air bandung selasih.. mostly layan diri.. For me the food biase-biase je... maybe sebab kitorang makan ikan keli & ayam goreng kampung je kot.. tapi specialty die memang la ulam yang banyak.. seriously banyak.. daun yang tak kenal pon ade.. semuanya ambik how many you like.. We paid around RM20 for all that.. and we even met a nice local family yang bagi tips untuk pegi Rantau Panjang the next day..

Lepas tu check-in to Hotel Perdana to rest and refresh.. nice hotel.. Bagi Adam catch-up on his beauty sleep kejap..

Hotel Perdana

That evening kitorang ronda-ronda pekan KB and finally ke Pantai Cahaya Bulan.. PCB.. Traffic jam boleh tahan.. banyak bas.. Nasib baik dapat parking depan kedai-kedai makan tepi laut tu.. Instead of duduk tepi pantai tu kitoran melepak at one of the shops.. Dude ordered air kelapa & seafood goreng on stick.. sedap! sebab walaupon dah di pre-fry, they still re-fry for the crisp.. Tapi bila nak bayar sedap tu terus hilang.. Mahal! Maghrib kitorang pon balik without even putting our feet on the sand.. eheheh.. kire sampai jugakla PCB kan?

Malam pulak, another friend of Dude yang datang jugak to KB ni ajak dinner (or is it supper?) sesama.. He suggested to eat seafood or better yet ikan bakar.. Dah lambat macam tu pon this kedai Restoran Selera Ikan Bakar nearby Wakaf Che Yeh still penuh.. must be good.. I just let Dude and his friend and wife to do the ordering.. Saya penjaga anak-anak.. So they ordered a plate of yong tou foo.. ikan siakap bakar... ikan cencaru bakar.. sotong goreng tepung.. there were limitless ulams and bottomless sambal and air assam.. still no picture.. terlupa bawak kamera and the phone is with Adam.. to keep him calm.. heh!

That was the end of our Day 1 in KB..

Angkasa




(by : Diandra Arjunaidi)
 
Jika ku tuliskan
sepucuk surat cinta oh bagimu
mungkinkah ia mampu
mengubah fikiranmu
tentang diriku yang sayang
menanti ketibanya hari

ke angkasa
dan kembali
ku tetap berada disisi
cinta kita bagaikan fantasi
kau lah yang ku miliki
kau lah yang ku mencari
selama-lamanya

walaupun kita dua insan
yang tak pernah memahami
diri kita yang berlainan alam
tapi takdir kita bertemu
dan ku tak akan lepaskan
perasaan ini

dan sayang mungkin kita
tak harus kekal begini
dan sayang kita harus
menempuhi realiti
realiti..realiti..
