New Age New Blog

I am now in my first year...what an eventful and wonderful first twelve months I have gone through with Pa&Ma and all the lovely people around me.

Alhamdulillah...everything is going on just fine. The fever, flu cold & runny nose have been part of my twelve months of growing up and development of my internal antibodies. Visits to the local practitioner and child clinic is just part of the routine as scheduled in my health chart. No problem for me and I do enjoy them as I get to play at the kiddies corner.

Perhaps its a good time to move on to a new episode in my blog...there is no better time than now.

On the 4rd. Syawal - Alisya's Birthday

.H.A.P.P.Y B.I.R.T.H.D.A.Y # 1 ALISYA... 15.10.2007

Today, one year ago (follow lunar year) i was born to this world... syukur alhadulillah...birthday story already posted by Pa on 4rd october 2007 (22nd.ramadan)... can still remember?? story bout me and my spongebob...

What's a birthday without cakes? I was given a special treat by Pa & Ma at the nearby Secret Recipe in Taipan Senawang.
We got there at around 8.00pm and the place was not busy. Perhaps everyone is busy attending to guests at home or visiting friends. It is still raya.






This is the chocolate cake I had...shared with Ma.








Looking at the size of that piece, I was wondering if my little stomach can take it.








A taste of the cake...

The cake was really moist...not really for me now. Thanks Ma.






emmm, so what else for me on this special and memorable day... hohoho...Pa bought me this orange car... tqvm Pa...

Ooops! Sorry Pa, did I just pull this thing called steering? Didn't mean to spoil my birthday gift...I know you can fix it...pleeeze.










See...I told you that you could fix this little girl's curiosity and misadventure. Simple stuff for you.

Now I can go places in my brand new 'orange' car. Let me get the hang of this new vehicle and familiarise the handling. Don't want my 'adventure' to damage any of Ma's collections.

Care to join me?



this hamper was given by Pa's colleague in conjunction with hari raya ... but I am treating it like mine..yea..yea

woopsss, its taller than me..Now, lets check the contents.. i should do the booking and selection first...

Hmmm... I think I want that thing in the red box...and the one in green...and the other one tooooo..

Huh! I am really really confused...why not just give them all to me?

That will settle the case...won't it Pa?



We need a bigger area for that...Come lets open it in our living area...there's more space for me to do the sorting out.

There were lots of food stuff in the hamper but mostly for adults or people with teeth.

Tho' I am one, my teeth seem to shy away from me for the moment. By my 2nd Birthday, I would be able to enjoy those stuff.




That was my 1st Birthday episode. See ya again.

On the 2nd day of Raya...

This update is way way behind time... its already passed Syawal and blog is still on 2nd day of Raya? Aaah....whatever...better late than never. So here goes...

By the 2nd day of Raya everyone had enough of the lemang and rendang stuff, including the kuih raya and are craving for simple kampung food. Imagine how much time we spent to prepare all those stuff just for the first day. After that everything goes into the respective containers...perhaps to see Raya Korban?

The nice Raya shoes all nicely arranged...to be worn next Raya?


Abang Afiq still have appetite for lemang and rendang.


Meanwhile, Pak Lang is preparing something in the make shift outdoor kitchen


After brunch, we went to the surau to do some washing up of the dishes...from day 1 Raya?


The carpet had to be thoroughly swept


As for this little girl...its relaxing time


And playtime with cousins

By evening, we had planned a visit to relative's house. There goes another day of Syawal.

Day 1...at Rantau

On the first day of Hari Raya Puasa recently, we were at Ma's kampung in Rantau. Everyone were up very early that Saturday morning despite staying up late the night before to fill the jars with kueh raya and stuff.

Lemang and rendang; the tradisional Negri delicacies for Raya has been prepared the night before by Wan. Nasi Empit & Kuah Kacang; another popular raya food was also prepared as an option for guests. The 'kuih tunjuk' has been placed in the serve jars and arranged nicely on the table.

Yes we are set for a great Raya...and the celebration has just begun.

This is the kampung surau where Atuk, Wan, Pa and Uncle Li went for their Raya prayers which started at 9.00am.


The men in the main surau while the ladies at the verendah listening to the young Imam briefing before prayers started.


Howszat for a 'sedondon' mother-daughter look?


Pa looking at the ladies in blue


Atuk and Wan were sporting to pose for the camera


The first group of kids who visited us


My Kajang cousins with their antics


We went for Raya visit to Wan Alang with the Kajang group


...followed by satay feast at Wan Acik's house; compliments from Kajang


That 'big' lady is Wan Acik...Wan's sister. She is not so mobile due to her weight and aching legs


By evening, we had packed our bags to spend Raya at Rembau.

Syawal telah tiba...

...syawal telah tiba...dan telah 16 belas hari berlalu...dan hari ini baru ma berkesempatan untuk mengupdate blog ini...sungguh banyak aktiviti disepanjang raya sehingga terbatas waktu untuk menulis disini...ya..ini kali ke-2 alisya merayakan aidilfitri... tahun lepas umur alisya baru sepuluh hari...masih merah dan kecil sangat... syukur Alhamdulillah tahun ini, alisya telah genap setahun dan membesar seperti kanak2 lain... macam sedih jer mukadimah ni ye... ok..ok..kita jgn emosi sangat... harus ceria dan bergembira ... olehitu, tgk ler aksi2 alisya disepanjang raya ini...

yey... yea... hari raya sudah tiba...ni gambo Day 1 kat kampong Ma.










biru...itulah warna tema tahun ini... pagi raya di rantau...gambo sekeluarga (minus Along & Family yg balik petang Raya tu) kat tangga fevret.

Nampak gaya nye terpaksa ler Pa take over episod seterus nya sebab Ma tersangat ler bizi. Sessi bergambar ada yang dalam rumah dan ada yang outdoor. Maklum ler Hari Raya and semua orang pun pakai baju baru yang lawa-lawa. Rugi ler kalau tak abadikan dalam kamera digital Pa tu.

Kita sambung dalam posting baru lah...

Syawal Just Round The Corner

Raya is coming...yabbadabadooo!

Its Thursday, 11th October 2007 today which means we are only 2 days away from 1 Syawal...Hari Raya Aidil Fitri. Is it not a good reason to smile like this?

This time last year, I was only about a week old...nothing much that I could do but eat and sleep; just the normal things babies do. Occasionally, I would cry out for attention to get my nappies changed or when my milk time is due.

I'm very excited to celebrate Hari Raya this Saturday. I get to try on my 'Baju Kurung'...yes...Baju Kurung specially tailored for me in the Rembau theme colour.

As for food...hmmm...maybe I'd just skip the lemang and rendang for the moment.

This' tepung pelita' is one of my favourite over the Ramadhan month. Pa & Ma and occasionally Atuk Rantau would buy these from the Pasar Ramadhan...just for me.

I'm blessed to have these loving and caring people around me. Pampered? Maybe. I have no complains being treated this way. Love it!

It taste really yummy and I could finish two of them in one sitting...if only Ma would allow it.

Hope the weather is good this weekend. Its just a little inconvenient to do visiting on a rainy day.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri to all my blog readers. If you have to travel, please do so with safety in mind...at all times! Enjoy the holidays and the great food.

IOI Mall Puchong

Last Saturday, 6th October 2007 we were at IOI Mall in Puchong; for the first time. We have passed this place many times on our way back to Seremban but never had the opportunity to stop by. Its just the timing that is not quite right.

We finally made it, with Ma's little nudge on Pa and recalling the positive remarks Mama KL made of this place. We lost our way when getting there; its just awkward coming from Elite Highway side but managed to reach the place eventually, thanks to a roadside trader who directed us back in the right direction.

The IOI complex has Jusco as their anchor tenant; that's where we we heading. Being the last weekend before Hari Raya Puasa, the shoppers were mostly Malays getting stuff for the big day this coming Saturday...we were one of them.

Let the pics below tell the rest of our trip there.

A quick pit stop at Petronas for petrol and a little pose from Ma and I


It was already 6pm on a gloomy Saturday evening when we arrived at the parking area.


...and I am all smiles


Our next pit stop was the baby room to get me changed...its been a cold trip.


Tarraa...I'm ready for the action, lets go Pa & Ma


While Ma roam around the ladies section, Pa & I decided to rest our tired feet at the complex bench.

Pa & Ma decided to perform their Maghrib prayers first after breaking fast since all the seats have been taken by hungry shoppers at the eateries. I had my usual Ma's Porridge while Pa & Ma had nasi lemak.

The Hari Raya decor in the background...but I'm too busy with my Jumbo and Spongebob


On stage below, there was a cultural performance; a compulsory free entertainment for shoppers


Jusco was open till midnite but we left half an hour earlier...a final pose before leaving IOI Mall

We reached Seremban an hour later stopping by a stall in Ampangan to get food for sahur. As usual, I was in dreamland all the way from Puchong.

Thanks Pa & Ma...I love you both.

22 Ramadhan 1428 Hijrah ...I'm One

22 Ramadhan 1428 (Thursday)

Today I am 1 year old...ikut Islamic calender. I was brought to this world this day last Ramadhan.

What can I say but Syukur Alhamdulillah for these things that Allah has bestowed on me...

...that I have a wonderful and loving Pa & Ma who tirelessly care for me;

... that I am healthy;

...that I have great Atuk (only one left) and Wans (I have 2 grandmas);

...that I have great uncles and aunties; though most of them I seldom get to see;

...that I have cheerful and friendly cousins who would be around me for company;

...that I have a house I call home to shelter me from rain and sun;

...that I have food and water at just about anytime I want;

...that I have a peaceful nation;

...and the list can go on and on...

But most of all...I would just say Alhamdulillah to The Almighty for all these things that I get to enjoy...and Alhamdulillah for this life He has given me.

Footnote: Both pics taken on my 1st Birthday of Ma and Wan Rantau with me and my latest soft toy...spongebob; a present from Ma. Thanks Ma.
