MALAY FAMILY LIVING IN USA

This is currently my favourite youtube video site. There're about 98 videos showing how their family (Malaysians living in the USA) run their day to day activities. Remind me during my time living abroad ages ago ...

A STORY OF 'KASUT SEKOLAH'

                                                             THE REPLACEMENT


I'm not really sure if I wanted to blame my son or to blame the quality of the nowadays SCHOOL SHOES. There will be few times in a year where I have to buy a new pair of shoes for him (his younger sister included).


OK, understood they have numbers of out of the class activities which requires some high intensity usage of the shoes but the same goes with me when I was their age , going to school and joining 'KELAS PJ' but my shoes LAST LONGER .....

Probably at the end of the day it's the business model the NEW SCHOOL way ..create a product that will not last very long hence will increase the sales volume .....Adiossss

                                  THE 'WHY WE BOUGHT A NEW SHOE (SEE THE BELOW)

SRI DAMANSARA - DAMANSARA DAMAI .....

The road stretches about less than 3 km. With a normal driving speed like mine it should take less than 2 minutes. But this area is legendary for its notorious traffic jam. During the first day of Ramadan ...going back from my office ..that stretch alone tooke me about 2 hours ...first the traffic was bad as usual ...secondly everybody wanted to go back early to break fast ..and on top of that ..a bog lorry decided to broke down in the middle of Sri Damansara blocking 1 lane ...

That's life I guess ...you just have to go with the flow ...but I've improvise a bit ...now before going back I'll check the latest traffic updates ...

MAKAN2 BEFORE RAMADHAN

This is an example of on the spot planning. Initially we wanted to have a simple outdoor BBQ. Since our 'guest house' is being occupied by the workers for Rasul's weekend house project, we decided to have just a simple makan2 minus the BBQ inside the house. It's the best time to get everybody together just before RAMADHAN

BECOMING A PUBLIC TRANSPORT USER ....

VIEW FROM INSIDE THE TRAIN (IT'S THE LATEST TRAIN FROM KTM)

NOW I CAN ENJOY MY READING ...

WINDOW SEATING AND ENJOYING THE VIEW ...

After almost 10 years driving to office , I've decided to switch to public transportation. It's a bit challenging trying to adapt to sudden changes but I survive :) Overall not really bad at least :

1) Now I'm more motivated to get up early (solat subuh on time and @ surau)
2) Daily exercise (walking from station to station)
3) Reading (I can now read books while enjoying the ride ...)
4) And others .....

p/s : And not to forget I'm also contributing to the environment ...:) ...GO GREEN (ehhh betul ke ???)

A VERY STRAWBERRY MOMENT .....

Had this photos taken during the recent Cameron Highland trip. This is a makan place that we often visited. Located in Brinchang and not far from the famous Cameron 'pasar malam'. And we're not having sort of like a hi tea but LUNCH ....full with the yummy strawberry ...

p/s : tak kenyang laaaa :)
