A short honeymoon trip to Nusa Penida

Image
I have been dreaming of going on a honeymoon in Bali since the day I got married... I mean since my first marriage in 1999. But I never had a chance to go until the second marriage, although it was 16 months after the actual ceremony...hehe. It was an impromptu action, Fiza decided to go and I just follow her along. She said, let it be a birthday treat for me. The place was so beautiful, we had so much fun together there and we fell in love with each other all over again. People said Nusa Penida is like Bali before it was commercialized. Not many tourists come here, and to get to the tourist spots you have to ride a motorbike or car very far on the treacherous long winding bumpy road. If you never ride a motorcycle, it is not advisable to ride one here, better hire a driver. You also need to be physically fit to explore these places which involved hiking through dangerous steep slopes and stairs. But the view was breathtaking and you forgot all the struggles once you reached the spo...

Dmi is a newboy in RMC

Image
Dmi never hesitated to join RMC even though he already spent 3 years in SDAR. I met his teachers and many discouraged him from leaving SDAR. I know SDAR is a good school, especially in academics. But I believe he will learn more about life in RMC. I told him to just go for the selection and think about it later if he got the offer. So, the selection took place in RMC for a week in January. It was a very stringent process and only creme-de-creme will be selected to be Putera. Luckily, it was smooth sailing for him and after the final interview, he got the offer. Other than him, my batchmate's son OP Budin also got selected from MCKK. These boys are all coming from good schools. The Komandan has ensured the selected boys will be trained and educated properly to be the best product the college ever produced. (errr.... in other word... kena hell cukup2) The selection week We are so proud of him! Say goodbye to SDAR Lapor diri in RMC Finished his orientation...

BUTM 2019 50km

Image
Our first race this year since the TMBT last year. Same state Sabah but in a different place, at Kiulu. The view of the 10-15km was fantastic! After that not much to see. However, we managed to take a dip in one of the rivers. So refreshing, although the weather was extremely hot. We finished the race in 15:24hr which is worse than TMBT but we had so much fun. As usual, Fiza left me behind the last 4km before the finish line... :P Enjoyable flight We tried a capsule hotel. Very nice & cheap. We watched Capt Marvel. as well Morning run in KK Race kit pick-up then off to AirBnB at Kiulu Race day. View the first 10km was amazing. Steep elevation in the first half Organizer provided good makan at CP. The weather was extremely hot. More forgiving elevation in the 2nd half, unlike TMBT. We finished in 15 hours ++ We went to Jambatan Tamparuli and had dinner with my RMC junior at KK waterfront. Alhamdulilllah, we always had a great time to...

Ride to Taman Negara

Image
Impulse decision for a family ride to Taman Negara. We started the journey from home in the afternoon and arrived at Kuala Tahan around 9pm. The access road from the main road near Jerantut to Kuala Tahan was about 50km distance and it was a scary experience to ride a motorcycle in a dark deep jungle. We rode to Taman Negara Cross Sungai Tembeling to Taman Negara Hiking up Bukit Teresek Boat ride at Sungai Tahan Fish Sanctuary & Lata Berkoh Let's go home!

Ride to Sg Manik, Teluk Intan

Image
On Christmas Eve, we decided to ride to one of our IM friends' hometowns in Teluk Intan. His father has a piece of sawah bendang land behind his house.  We traveled on 2 bikes with Auni & Harraz. Going there we took a route via Kuala Selangor. It was an alternative road to Teluk Intan passing through kilometers of paddy field on the left and right of the road. Although it was a long road, the view was so scenic. We played in the tali air and tried to catch fish. It was a fun trip not only for the kids but for both Fiza & me as well.  Thanks to Latip & family for being a great host. Can't wait to visit his kampung again this year.

1st Anniversary

Happy 1st Anniversary Sayang! You are truly my life’s blessing. You have no idea just how happy you make me. Every day I thank Allah because He cleared the path for us to meet, be friends, fall in love, and get married. I’ve had so many smiles & laughter shared with you during the first year of our marriage. There were also some surprising twists and turns, and ups and downs. I’m not the least bit worried because I know that our love will see us through. Cheers to our first anniversary, and the many more to come with so much love. For the past year, we're together...
