Moving??

 

We finally got a very nice place in Springs after months of searching. As the prices are going down and low on a very unusual basis, we took this opportunity to get a bigger place for us. We got 4E type villa in Springs 8. Yeah there goes the best part. But the worst parts are, packing and moving the stuff. Looking for movers trucks and of course we want the best bargain, with a low charge. 

We never really care about all this kind of stuff until now. (after 3 years living in Dubai). I never care, where to find a shop that sells paints, curtains, and other stuffs. We planned to paint our new place so it will look more like a home as we plan to stay longer. We found out the best place to find shops that sells paints is in Satwa. In the hardware stores. You can find the stores by surveying and look for any kind of paint brands. Like Jotun, Berger, National Paints or maybe ICI Dulux. We used National Paints, as it only cost you AED15 for a gallon of paint. But it has a limited choices of colours. 

For curtains, Dragon Mart is the best place to find curtains of our choice and taste. BUT...! You have to go around, take a look at each shop, as they offered you different prices for each fabric, and even different quality. You have a choice of buying the fabric and make it yourself to save more money (like I did), or maybe you can just choose the design and ask them to make it for you, but will cost you a lot.. lot...lot of dirhams!

I bought the fabrics for my hall, I'm gonna sew it my self as soon as we settled down. For the rooms I bought a simple fabrics from IKEA, and blinds too from there.

We even get our border paper for the walls from Satwa. You can bargain for low prices with people in Satwa. 

Well as I am writing this, all of our furnitures already moved to the new place and I am sitting on the floor with the echo of my voice, in the hall. 

After this, it's gonna be a while until I am online again, because I have to wait for my hubby to transfer the lines to our new place. It's gonna be BORING....without my FB especially, to go on with my daily routine.

Until the next post,

My Baby's 1st School Project (in 3D)

I'm supposed to post this like weeks ago.. but the big 'M' word are sooooo.... BIG... and I just kep everything in my camera.

Anyway, my 4 year old baby just received her first school project. Making an aquarium with recycle items. Well, I.m not much of an inventor or what.. so me and hubby helped her with the project. Draw the fished for, use her cereal box to make the seaweeds, and let her do the coloring and put some glue and some fun and other fun and easy stuff.

I don't know what else to write, but my baby were so proud of her aquarium that she talked about it ALL WEEK!!

Oh, Ummi so proud of you! Keep it up, girl!

Until the next post,

Eid Ul Fitr in Dubai 2nd Syawal, Bukak Rumah and Atlantis

Hari ni turn umah kami buat open house. Ikutkan cam malas kononnye, tapi ramai plak yang bertanya. So buat je la. Takpe, meraikan kawan-kawan. Seronok jugak dapat berkumpul-kumpul ni. Menu... jeng...jeng..jeng... Nasi Ayam, roasted chicken tau! Lauk-lauk raya, kuah kacang, nasi himpit, rendang dan ayam bali... dan yang paling special (drum roll)... TAU FOO FA!!! Huh, penat abang pyt memerah soya. Pagi after Subuh we all start. Abang Pyt dengan tugasan memerah soya, me..? Prepare nasik ayam. Buat sos, bakar ayam pun dekat2 orang nak datang... ehh..cheh..cheh..! Saje je kan..?

Alhamdulillah by 9.45 everything dah siap, except abang pyt barulah nak terhegeh-hegeh beli asi for the drink. We expected people to come around 10.30 am. Ishh sabar je dengan suami ku ini! Luckily masa aku mandi bersiap, Falisha elok je main dengan Tini.. senyap dan yang paling penting orang lom sampai. Fuh.. what a relief!

By 11, diorg pun dah start sampai, alhamdulillah! Makan dan makan dan makan... borak dan borak dan borak... sampailah ke dessert.. wah.. semua orang suka.. sebab dapat makan Tau Foo Fa.. oklah.. semua orang happy kitaorg pun happy. After everybody left, time yo rest and clean up. Sebab malam tu ada dinner kat Atlantis.

Takde ape nak cite la, same drill.. events makan, ade competition, kitaorg masuk tapi tak menang, tumpang glamour je atas pentas. But the place oohh.. cantik! So afterwards biasa la balik, sebab En.Fadzil supposedly keje esoknye..but end up amik emergency leave. Raye.. penat la kan?

Eid Ul Fitr in Dubai, 1st Syawal

Tak kira la korang nak cakap ape pun, aku tak kisah. Aku update gak blog yang dah lama bersarang nih. Raya tahun ni celebrate kat Dubai as you all know. Tak kurang meriahnya, sebab ramai Malaysian yang tak balik.

Aku ngan Fadzil tido kul 3 pagi masak rendang, kuah kacang, nasi himpit. Tradisi kan..? So aku buat semua. Dah lama tak buat benda2 nih, so call ibunda tercinta la dulu, refer balik nak confirm betul tak cara masaknye.. resipi ade tertempek dalam kepala ni, just nak make sure cara nak melempar tu betul. Hihihi.. thanks bonda! (Tak sabar nak tunggu u all datang.)

Alhamdulillah, jadi tau rendang aku! Rendang daging + paru + limpa, aku buat negoghi sembilan nyo style. Buh cili api banyak-banyak.. laki aku kepedasan makan tapi tak mau berhenti. Hehehe.. amik ko!

Besides that masak jugak ayam balik untuk budak-budak. (macam ramai padahal Tini je, pastu babah Tini tumpang sekaki)

Aku pack lauk-lauk ni untuk di bawak berkunjung umah kengkawan. Tradisi jugak ni.

Pagi raya biasa la, pakai baju cantik, salam mintak maaf "boo, hoo!" nangis pastu terus g beraya ke Konsulat. Actually solat raya semua kat sana. Sempat jugak jumpa kengkawan, gelak-gelak, salam-salam dan borak-borak. 1st time I met Syigim in person. klu tak online jer..yay, nice meeting you Syigim.

Afterwards, posing-posing amik gamba. Ingat nak amik gamba depan rumah sebelum pegi konsulat tapi dah lambat, dah tak sempat nak posing lagi dengan Falisha yang dah makin tak reti diam. Huh! Letih sungguh.

Program diteruskan dengan jalan-jalan raya ke rumah En.Khalbi, lepas tu umah Zamzuri dan Lily, umah Wak nasrol dan Zaiy and last but not least, rumah En.Nizar (boss abang pyt). Letihnya. Tanpa membuang masa lepas raya umah diorg ni balik le umah sendiri, solat pastu semua pengsan depan TV tak sedar apa. Kena rehat, sebb budak-budak dah penat dan malam tu nak pegi rumah En.Amran dan Fida.

Hmm.. camtulah gamaknya raya kitaorg kat sini. Meriah jugakkan? Rindu jugak dengan semua orang kat Malaysia, tapi takpe tahun depan kitaorg balik cuma tak sure la balik raya atau tidak.

Ok, ciao!

Eid Mubarak!

Kakak Pegi Sekolah Budak Besar

My baby goes to school! Kata Tini, sekolah budak-budak besar. Alhamdulillah dapat jugak dia Winchester School. Dekat dengan rumah, 5 minutes drive je. Tini masuk kelas FS2D. Cikgu die, Mrs Alvida. She was so excited. 3rd September hr tu orientation, but still both of us went to send her. Kita orang tunggu, dia macam pelik lepas tu tanye, "Ummi dengan Babah tak mau balik ke?" sebab dah biasa pergi nursery dulu, hantar tinggal. Oooohhh.. Iam so proud of you! Yalah.. compare to this boy yang sampai saing Tini, terjerit-jerit kena tinggal dengan parents dia. Haru-haru.. Oklah.. that's all for now.
