Strawberry Picking

Sebenarnya dah lama kami bercadang nak ke Ladang Strawberry. Cuma tunggu musim bertukar aje. Strawberry season biasanya start akhir Musim Bunga, dalam Jun-Julai. Tunggu punya tunggu, baru semalam baru kami dapat pergi sebab sekarang ni cuaca tak menentu, asyik hujan je. Jadi semalam, lepas sarapan dengan nasi kerabu ada orang kat sini jual, kami pun pergi ke Kenyon Hall Farm, 30 minit dari rumah. Cuaca pulak dari mendung tapi bertukar cerah bila kami sampai kat sana.

Menarik gak tempat tu dan sesuai untuk family outing. Macam-macam sayur dan buah tempatan ada kat situ. Kami pergi ke ladang strawberry, gooseberry, redberry, raspberry dan jugak English herb dan bunga-bunga. Kat ladang ni, kita boleh petik buah strawberry terus dari pokok (pick your own), timbang dan bayar. Ambilah sebanyak mana pun, masak ke...putik ke... nanti harga sama aje.

Adik dan ayah dah ready nak petik strawberry

Inilah pokok strawberry

Adik dan abang suka sangat kutip strawberry. Adik makan terus kat ladang, padahal kena bayar dulu.. emmm jadi terpaksa la cakap kat cashier yang budak tembam dah makan 3 biji.





Seronok betul. Lepas bayar kami lepak-lepak kat bangku yang disediakan, sambil tengok panaroma ladang strawberry mat & mek salleh ni.

Gambar-gambar lain boleh tengok kat slide-show bawah ni atau go to ayah's photo.

What Can I Do Myself Part II

Now is my turn to tell a story about myself. Do you know that I will be 1 year old in 1 week time? Emmm I wonder what present Ibu will give me? emmmpppphhh. Present from Ayah is already received but I will tell you next time what it was.
Okay, now back to my story...what can I do myself? Now..

• I can walk a few steps by myself
• I can imitate Abang actions
• I can climb up and down the sofa. Ibu said I could have climbed the stairs at Melawati home if we were at home
• I can eat rice using my hand
• I can eat other solid food and in fact I can eat everything because I like to put things into my mouth hehhehe:)
• I can dance emmmm gracefully..
• I can sing Balamory (one of the famous children show in CBeeBiess)
• I tried to dress and undress myself... not only my clothes... but also Abang, Ayah and Ibu's clothes... I have tried.... but so far no success...hehhehe:)
• I can open and close kitchen drawers looking for chocolate, sweets or crisp. p/s the drawer is the secret place (not anymore) for Abang to hide his sweets from me
• I made a lot of sounds now... esp when I asked Ibu to swith on tv or when I want to play with computer .(I have my own computer now so that I can watch nasyid tilmiz, cartoon and children songs in U-Tube, that is why Ayah took back laptop from Mok Oye, coz he didn't want me to disturb him doing his final project. Emmmm sorry yek Mok Oye...)

What can I do myself?

Yeah....yeah.... I'm almost 4 years old now.... about another 3 months to go. So, I keep thinking what have I learnt so far?, what can I do myself now? Well......

1. I can dress up/ undress myself (including shirt, trouser, socks and shoes)
2. Toilet trained (emmm tapi tak pandai basuh sendiri lagi la hehehe) and been without diapers since I was 2 1/2 years old.
3. Brush my teeth / take a shower on my own
4. Enjoy schooling here. Every day, school is one that I really looking forward to. I no longer cried like before because I have a lot of friends now and I really like my friends especially Zara :)
5. Play simple computer game. I like to play games in CBeeBies especially the Tommy Zoom, Lumberjack, Bobinob and Bob the Builder.
6. And recently I can climb in/out the car and sit on my car seat myself but (Ayah still need to help me buckle up/unbuckle the seat belt). Don't believe it? Emmm see for yourself then.

Hujung Minggu yg Mamdom

Emm dah lama tak tulis apa-apa. Sebab... tak tahu nak tulis apa, lama dah kami tak pergi mana-mana. Ayah dah balik dari KL Selasa lepas tapi belum sempat pergi jalan mana-mana lagi kecuali pergi melawat Adik Syafiq dan Adik Mikhail.

Dan hari ni pulak, Ayah pergi memancing di Wales dengan kawan-kawan. Kami duk rumah je. Cuaca pulak mendung je.. emmm nak buat apa yek. Adik pulak, pagi-pagi lagi dah pecahkan cawan sebiji semata-mata mencari gula-gula abang dalam laci kat dapur... emmm aktif betul budak pompuan sorang tuh.

2 minggu lagi (5-13 Julai), kami nak bercuti ke EUROPE selama 9 hari bersama Kelana Convoy. Dan 5 Julai ialah Birthday Adik yg pertama, nampak gayanya kena celebrate kat Amsterdam la. Emmm can't wait... Nanti kami cerita kat blog ni yek...

Kami kesunyian

Emmmm Ayah balik KL semalam. Tinggal kami 3 beranak jer kat rumah. Kami tak dapat nak pergi melawat Untie Mas lagi kat hospital. Terpaksa tunggu ayah balik dulu dan pergi melawat Untie kat rumah.


Emmm sunyi nyer... tak dapat nak pergi jalan-jalan.......

al-Fatihah

Takziah buat Untie Mas dan Uncle Sam sekeluarga di atas kembalinya ke Rahmatullah, salah seorang kembar yang baru lahir semalam. Semoga Untie dan Uncle tabah menghadapi dugaan-Nya.

Our First Fishing Experience

Last Saturday was our first fishing trip ever. Even in Malaysia, Ayah never bring us along whenever he went for fishing trip. It was in North Wales, at the very end of the isle, not sure the exact name of the place.

It was very an adventurous experience given that we needed to cross a very large field, climb up and down the hills, passing very narrow path and very steep cliff in order to get to the fishing spot. But of course, it was worth it... The scenary was mashaAllah, very beautiful.

Unfortunately, our timing was not favourable, we arrived when the sealevel started to fall, and there were a lot of seals around, chasing away the fish. So the results was not so fruitful. Pity us heheheheh. Nevertheless, since we went there with 2 other families, Untie Shima and Untie Norfi, we had very nice picnic instead. And the kids ( Azim, Diyah, Hamim, Dodi and Sarah) really had a wonderful time playing around. The place, despite of the steep cliff had a large flat area made it suitable for setting up tent and for the kids to run around.

The rest of the stories... lets the picture talks...... (emm macam pernah dengar je)

Taman Tinjau Penerbangan

Hari Khamis, dalam kul 7.30 petang (kat sini belum gelap lagi, Maghrib sekarang jam 9.30 malam) , Ayah ajak kami pergi jalan-jalan. Dia tak cakap kat mana, suspens... Abang Azim ingat nak pergi main bola je kat depan rumah..

Tiba-tiba, kami sampai di Manchester Airport, lalu tempat kami menunggu taxi masa mula-mula sampai dulu. Ayah kata nak pergi Anjung Tinjau... emmm ingat ke stail macam KLIA, kena parking dan masuk bangunan Airport.

Rupa-rupanya kami salah....Ayah bawa kami ke Aviation Viewing Park, nama tempat tu Willow Concorde. Tapi park tu, tutup jam 9.00 mlm, kami pulak sampai 8.30 mlm, hanya ada setengah jam aja. Tak apala... kami masuk jugak. Emmm entrance fee GBP5.00, jangan convert... mahal....

So kat situ ada Concorde, the supersonic passengers airliner (klik di link untuk membaca sejarahnya). Kami tak masuk sebab kena bayar lagi dan masa terlalu singkat

Emmm abang Azim suka tengok kapalterbang berlepas dan mendarat. Ayah pulak menajamkan kemahiran mengambil gambar dengan kamera baru kesayangannya. Ibu, emmm apa lagi duk dukung Adik la.
Okayla, malas nak cerita panjang, jom layan gambar.

Abang Azim posing dengan cermin mata barunya. Latar belakang: para pelawat sedang mendengar taklimat berkenaan sejarah Concoerde (G-BOAC)

Giliran ibu dan adik pulak...

Ada gaya macam Pilot tak??

Cantik tak Concorde ni berlatarbelakangkan langit yang biru. P.S. Ayah sedang mencuba teknik fotografinya.

Abang sedang khusyuk melihat kapal terbang Thomas Cook sedang berlepas

CBS

Ahad lepas, kami bangun pagi lagi. Ayah kata nak pergi ke Car Boot Sale (CBS). Ayah memang selalu ke CBS ni...tapi biasanya ayah pergi ngan member dia. Because of a nice sunny weather today, ayah bring us together....yea...yea..yea. Hari ni kami akan ke CBS with approximetely 6 km from our house. Kat area sini ada 3-4 CBS, ayah selalu pergi kat Oldham tapi kali ni ayah kata nak pergi ke Bowley CBS. Dulu masa kami first sampai, ada orang bawa kami pernah ke sini, tapi masa tu winter time so weather is cold and windy. Then, CBS ni ditutup dan baru aje buka bila spring season sebulan lepas.

CBS is normally open on sunday, from 7am to 12 pm

CBS ni ialah used items market, tapi tak ader kedai... seller jual dari bonet (boot) kereta. Konsepnya ialah "things valuable not useful for me maybe is needed by others, better let go for some money". Barang-barang yang dijual ni sememangnya pelbagai jenis.... dari baju, pinggan mangkuk, perhiasan, tv radio, buku, mainan ...bla...bla...banyak betul. Harga tu biasanya serendah 10 pence hingga 5 pound. Ada juga yang mahal sampai 20-30 pound. Seller biasanya mat salleh... ada jugak Pakistani atau Indian.

Kami bersedia untuk masuk zone CBS

Ayah kali ni nak cari peralatan mancing kerana nak pergi mancing ngan member dia next week dan juga picnic table. Ibu pula seperti biasa ingin cari buku novel dan jigsaw puzzle game. Kami berdua ni hanya jalan-jalan... kalau ayah belikan mainan lagi bagus....Kami ronda-ronda lebih kurang sejam. Ingatkan panas sampai ke tengahari....rupanya hujan sebelum tengahari.... so kami terpaksa balik. Tapi ayah dan ibu sempat juga beli beberapa barang: 6 sets cawan-piring royal duchess , mangkuk royal albert, picnic table dan 4 puzzles. Kami dapat mainan dan baju panas...on the way balik rumah ayah belanja fried chickens and chips...pehhhhhh...kenyang perut. 'Terima kasih ayah dan ibu'. Ada ubi ada batas....lain kali belanja lagi.

Suasana Bowley CBS hari ni, makin ramai orang walaupun hari nak hujan

Facilities likes coffee shop for breakfast, toilet and parking space is provided

Zzzzzz......lena betul. Stroller dah jadi troli sangkut barang

Hari ni Abang Azim dapat mainan stereng kapal terbang...

Ini hasil car boot... cawan & mangkuk, picnic table color biru (boleh lipat), 5 jigsaw puzzles dan tv kat belakang tu pun ayah beli kat CBS Bowley masa first datang dulu.
