NADIRAH ZAKARIYA CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP 2018

Hey ya it's been a while.

So the other day I finally took the plunge and joined NADIRAH ZAKARIYA CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP 2018!

Had so much fun learning and meeting new people. Here are some of my work. The others had better work of course but it's a satisfying feeling to be able to take photos. Yup, DH was the model haha. Ada symbolism di sebalik rugby head gear tu.

Our family vacation to Hong Kong 2018

I told you I'll be back to Hong Kong! This time with my little family in tow from 18-21 March. Too short of a trip but since we're planning a bigger trip for end Autumn, this will do for now.

Why go back to a place I've been before you ask? Why the hell not? Why do I keep going back to Japan? Again, why the hell not? At least I'm travelling am I? And you're not? Hehe. I just like going back to familiarity I guess. I mean I'd love to visit Prague or the Machu Picchu or New York one fine day but they're kinda expensive you know?

God, what can I say, I love Hong Kong so much! We're lucky to find a good hotel with easy access to Starbucks (what) and public transport - Harbour Bay Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui. Due to time constraint, we had to skip few items I had in mind, like the lights show at the bay, dim sum, among other things. But that's okay, there's always next time.  

Travelling with kids is another challenge altogether and it's really really frustrating guys. Dramatic kids I mean. But I hope they had fun as much as I did at least. Idris developed a passion for roller coasters at Disneyland (ok crying after the Space Mountain doesn't count) and Imaan 'met' his beloved basketball player Madame Tussaud's. Hehe.

While I plan for my next escapade (Kota Bharu please), Hong Kong will always be in my heart. Maybe it's something about growing up to Hong Kong dramas (before the Hallyu Wave took over of course).

Till next time HK!

Here's a random memory:

I didn't take 1119 exam because I thought my family was poor and couldn't afford it.

By the time my late dad knew about it it was too late.

a little casualty

Yesterday I taught reminded my children (fuh I make it sound like I have a bunch of them!) the basic things to do if anything happens to me. Call the people on my Favourites list. Run and look for the neighbors. The works.

Idris and I have been having severe cough (mine is with flu in tow) for almost a week. Idris been on inhaler and nebulizer. Yesterday was the final blow for me- i took the stairs up to the 4th floor and had difficulty breathing. This has never happened to me before. I'm not asthmatic. Same thing happened when I was walking to my car park.

And so I thought, this is the last straw. I need help. I also need to know that I'm not dying of some incurable disease. #godforbid

Went to the emergency today and wah lao wei! Bacterial infection in my left lung! What the hell! I also had a round of nebulizer WHICH I HAVE NEVER HAD BEFORE.

RM500 later  I am feeling like a billion bucks. Well, still tired but my breathing was slightly better. Hope this new round of (expensive) antibiotics will word wonders.

In the meantime, SCREW WORK AND DEADLINES. 

First day

My youngest child is Standard One now!

Every little thing will be alright and praise to Allah for his good grace.

Alhamdulillah.
