And Nia makes TWO....

Late evening, December 1, 2009... a lady was admitted to a maternity ward of a hospital right here in the city. In labor, obviously. But the medical team predicted that it would occur some time the next day. After experiencing some labor pain beginning at 2 a.m, December 2, at 4:52 a.m. , a princess was born...

Presenting, for the very first time in this blog....

This is... Nur Iman Raniyah Ramzyiatul Fahmy, born of Mazlin and Fahmy

Some Are Lucky...

luvly treats from luvly people ~ endless thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Dc

solid efforts of : clockwise from top, Mrs. DC's Fried Beef Special, Mux's Fried Pasta, Mrs. DC's signature Blackpepper Chicken, Mrs. DC's Nasi Tomato (my fav) and Mom's signature Steamed Fish.

a very fine selection...

tq, tq, tq Kokti... these are all her doings.. what a luvly surprise...tetiba je kan tengok Mr. DC datang bawak dua plastic bag.. one for the yummy cake, another one contained this yummylicious cuppies.. [psstttt : credit also goes to Wawa]. Ahem, who's Wawa? heheheh.. tunggu separate entry on Wawa : The Cuppies Story.

cantik sangat.. like lotuses in a pond... [ahem, Lotus]

Biasalah, Mr. DC ni part menyakat Mrs. DC, bukan main lagi.. terpancar nur di wajah Mr. DC kalau time menyakat.. nasib baik Mrs. DC ni golongan bertaqwa.. relax aje focus buat kejer. Tapi sakat-menyakat ni biasa la... kot tak tak ceria la plak kan.

from this photo, kita boleh nampak kesibukan master mind in this birthday party.. assisted by Mom, E-bit, Mux and Ernie. And DC Princess (not Disney Princess tau).

Lovely Aniece showing her special version of cupcake... tu Auntie Wawa buat special untuk dia...

and the party commenced... the usual selected few aje yang attend..family occassions katakan... Fahmy wasn't around, dia ada function to attend.. politicus katakan...

bersungguh-sungguh anak saudara saya ni tolong Mama dia.. rajin sungguh.. semua benda pun dia tolong.. sayangg Nissy..

Some people are lucky, some are not so lucky. For me, I am always lucky in more ways than one. And I think life is really great. I would like to grab this opportunity to thank my family - Mom, Dad, the DCs (Mr. , Mrs. and Miss DC), the Fahmys (Fahmy and E-Bit), Mux and Faiz for everything they have done on my birthday last October. Some of them were there and some were not, but they did remember. Thank you everyone, for the memorable party, for the gifts and for the thoughts. As always, I promise something really SPECTACULAR in return, Insya Allah.

To Faiz, who celebrates his birthday today, Happy 18th Birthday. May you get what you wish for, and may the blessings of Allah be with you everywhere. Best wishes in your exam, and may you get the best of results, bro.

To my late grandma, who couldn't be with us, my prayers are always with you for each passing day. Little that I know that my birthday last year was the last one with her. But you will always be in our hearts. Al-Fatihah to you, Grandma.

Tak Taulah...

Yang ni plak, tak taulah nak kata apa dah... BADLY DETERIORATING kot... kehkehkehkeh :p

~ AMPUNKAN KAMI PENUNGGU GUA ~

@ Johor Zoo

Not in the mood to write anything.. so let's have a look at our trip to Johor Zoo yesterday. Lin, Yana (cousin), Anis (niece) and myself. Takde plan pun, the original plan was to go to Angsana Plaza. But on our way out, the weather was quite okay. Tak panas sangat, tak hujan pun. So we sped to the zoo. Lepas tu baru ke Angsana, sebab zoo tutup awal.

Yana, and Anis.. Manjanya Anis dengan Cik Na dia.. stays close to Yana most of the times...

the entrance..

siapa-siapa berminat, inilah entrance fee dia...

the map...

yay!

yang ni dua ekor tengah bergaduh.. tak taulah pasal apa..

my heart goes out to this one.. so sweet, cute and very friendly.. reminds me of someone whom I met only once. Bila dah macam gini, kesian tengok kena kurung.. but on the other hand at least makan minum dia terjamin la.. no need to look for food.

needless to say, the baby was fascinated by this fella. anis ni ada la takut sikit-sikit at first, but that's because she has never been to this place before. but her level of curiosity is very high, and always eager to see more.

elok je duduk dua beradik ni....

something strange here. masa ni dekat row for monkeys. dalam cage atas ni ada satu tiny monkey. so cutttteeee. and suddenly as I attempted to move closer to touch the monkey i saw what looked like a lion cub in there. it was injured sebab i nampak leher dia cam merah ada bekas kelar. and it was not active, as if in pain. kesian tengok. ngeri pun ada, takut dia ngap monkey tu.

tak tau, samada monkey tu terlepas masuk, atau sengaja disamakan cage. kalau tengok betul-betul, cage ni bukan designed for lions tau. harapnya janganlah monkey tu sebenarnya makanan dia for the day... huhuhuhu hancur hatiku.. harapnya dua-dua cub and monkey selamat dan sihat.

haaa ni baru lah row for lions. pelik, row for lions lain, tigers lain. tapi lion cub tadi dia sekalikan dengan monyet. tak paham la. abang singa ni, nampak i datang je terus nak terkam. sampai berdiri-diri kat tepi palang tu. lapar ke tatau la, atau sebab my yellow shirt. lin, yana ngan anis stayed at least one and a half meter away from this one.

ni tatau la apa nama dia.. yang pasti dia minum tak jemput aku pun sey... sedihhh...

encik rimau kumbang macho ni la yang paling aku ngeri kalau gi brisk walk kat belakang tu... nengok tu bukan main santai lagi parking atas dahan.. gitulah rupanya agaknya kalau lepas kat istana garden ek.. tahun 2002 dulu sekali dah pernah lepas.. isk isk..

jiran kepada encik rimau kumbang ialah pak rimau belang ni... pun macho gak.. cool je ke hulu ke hilir.. tak la sampai menerkam cam abang singa tadi. ni dia berdua dalam ni, roomate dia tak nampak dalam gambar ni..

Yang ni.. eheh special for My Jedi Knight ~ your fellow Honeybear (beruang madu) :D :D :D Yang ni pun macho and cool je.. just like you hehehe.

ni pun berdua... cam bosan je member.. kesian tengok, macam letih tak bersemangat..

so friendly, this one. whenever a visitor passes by, it will say "Apa khabar semuaaaaa".

very effective, this one. my niece spotted this instantly upon entrance to the zoo :) sempat dia main cee-caw ngan cik na & cik lin dia....

Dikk, sorang je? Tengah telefon mak ke? Nak kenal, boleh?

gambar tak berapa elok... yang ni pun dia suka naik.. siap jumpa kawan baru.. asyik nak naik buai aje...

this is what i refer to as "the tiger stadium" ataupun stadium rimau.. why? jap lagi tau la...

rasanya dulu-dulu this stage-like thing takde kot.. betulla ramai orang kata zoo johor dah makin banyak improvement..

ada lagi satu gambar gazebo macam ni juga, tapi sebab tak berapa elok quality nya, takyah tunjuk la.. ada beberapa gazebo camni.. best juga rehat-rehat lepas penat jalan-jalan...

seekor ibu ayam serama bersama anak-anaknya.. alahai comel sangat-sangat... my niece bukan main perhati la, siap nak kejar...

ni pula ialah tangga untuk naik ke bahagian atas stadium rimau.. sebenarnya kalau nak tengok rimau dari bawah pun boleh, tapi cam upclose and personal lak, jadi tengok dari atas la.. dapat tengok dia merayau-rayau. time ni lin ngan yana dah surrender kat gazebo.. so it was only me and the baby. semput ooo, dukung dia naik tangga.. tak sampai hati nak suruh dia jalan sendiri. banyak anak tangga!

kita tengok satu section je dalam stadium ni sebab tak larat nak pusing semua. dipanggil stadium sebab binaan dia cam stadium, tinggi dan star of the show ada sebelah bawah. dalam stadium ni ada dua bilik gitu, untuk dua ekor encik rimau... so kira kalau hujan or penat, dia lepak dalam bilik dia tu la.. kalau tengok dari tingkat bawah, nampak la encik rimau kalau dia masuk bilik. tengah-tengah tu cam tempat dia merayau-rayau amik angin, exercise, etc. besar gak la area dia...

zoom sikit... nilah dia encik rimau sedang mundar-mandir... kejap keluar, kejap masuk dalam

btw, rimau dalam stadium ni, bukan rimau yang sama kat area rimau kumbang tadi.. ni rimau lain tau.. yang tadi duduk dalam kandang semata, takde area besar macam ni..

belah sana sikit, ada area tempat itik, angsa lepak-lepak. ada gambar badak berendam dalam kolam.. lepas macam tu aje.. berbuih-buih kolam... tapi sebab tak berapa cantik gambar, maka tak dapatlah letak sini hehehe...

seberang jalan daripada port itik ngan angsa, ialah tempat unta-unta sekelian.. our friends from middle east.. kalau nampak, jalan belakang tempat unta ni.. itulah track i pegi brisk walk kat istana garden (dalam entry dulu ada citer pasal ni, siap ada gambar unta sekali).

masjid abu bakar nan indah, pandangan dari atas stadium rimau...

turun bawah, sempat pose lak dengar cik kak dua orang ni kat gazebo.. anis tu tanak bergambar, dia nak continue the exploration. apakan daya kami dah tak larat...

on the way nak ke exit, kami lalu kat kolam ni.. ni lah jalannya...kolam ke tasik, tatau la..

siap ada tempat duduk macam ni.. close-up...

sebuah jeti usang... (jeti ka?)

dalam tasik tu ada beberapa ekor burung (kata yana ngan lin, nama dia pelican).. yang tengah berenang. cantik la nampak, sejuk mata memandang... cumanya burung ni, kata lin, dia kejar orang tau.. dari gaya dia terbang, rasanya boleh bertenggek atas kepala kita.. isk isk...

tengok la tu.. atas pokok bunga kertas pun jadik dia bertenggek.. masa snap gambar ni, cuak jugak.. kaki standby nak lari, takut dia terbang atas kepala... tapi burung ni kalau ada masa-masa tekak dia jadi kembung, cantik. nampak comel sangat....

one last look sebelum keluar.. hmm walaupun air dia hijau, tapi tetap sejuk mataku memandang.. dah namanya suka air, tak kisahlah. hijau pun hijau la.. nyaman je nengok...

uppppsss... beli air dulu..

kemudian kami pun meninggalkan zoo johor... sebab nak ke angsana lak, ada agenda lain. sebenarnya ada lagi yang kami tak pergi tengok, macam reptiles ~ snake, crocodile tu semua tak tengok..

masa tak banyak, jadi tak dapat tengok semua. gambar dengan elephant ada, tapi tak elok juga quality nya... jadi simpan dulu hehehe... mungkin lain kali pergi dapat lebih banyak gambar... tapi, puas hati la, dapat juga bawa anis ke sini.. dah lama kata nak pergi tapi takde kesempatan.

kalau datang dari arah laut, via Jalan Skudai, akan melalui jalan ini... to JB people, kalau nak pergi zoo johor, jangan tunggu-tunggu.. zoo dah makin best skarang ni... :)
