oooohh ikan....

today had a conversation with hubby on where to buy fish...im craving for fishh!!!
dats bcoz i love fishh....but its kinda hard to find...have to go to the market..which we dont know where it is!! yet..

so the only way is to buy a frozen bawal, in the halal meat store in bentley (a housing area near our house) or buy a fillet fish...

oklah tu dari xde apa2..worst come to worst makan ikan tuna /sardin dlm tin..hahaha!!

ooh this a pic of us going out nk beli printer hubby..yeah..outing time...(kaki jalan tul kan aku nih...kih kih)

sipah or sip..aaahhh

salam all,

hi..today's wheather is quite bearable for everyone in the house..yesterday was even worst..it went as high as 39deg....malaysia pun x panas camtu...

anyway, heard of sipah...its actually a multi flavoured straw which u can drink with milk...there's tiny beads inside the straw which has diff flavour( u'll understand what im saying when u buy one)..

no, no....i didnt found it in australia...nonie brought it when she cameback for holidays.

ooh..kitaorang jakun la keja sbb bende tu xde kat msia...sekali jalan kat cold storage...ader rupanye...u can count on cold storage for any overseas product or any high-end product untuk saja tukar2 rase or just wanna be adventurous in ur taste bud.

well izzah loves it very much...she can practically drink milk with sipah 3 times a day...im happy that she finally can drink milk but the thought of drinking it with sipah..frightens me...you see the small beeds has artificial flavours n also high in sugar...tapi tulah...serba salah, tak kasi die nak minum susu..bila kasi sipah tu byk mende2 tu...last2 kene control jela...jgn kasi byk sgt...
well sipah is easily found here...if u wanna try in msia, check it out in cold storage or any other supermarket which has them...one box contains 10 straws..costs about rm5++ i think...kat sini $2++...lebih kurang sama je kalu convert...

house

did i told u about our house? think not..

its an old one story terrace house.. its actually an old house..the desgign n door knobs n such has classic designs...

we have 3 rooms, one bathroom n one toilet, a small kitchen n a laundry room..

kite mana ader laundry room..tp diorang ader, agaknye sbb the washing machine is making lots of noise, baiklah letak die dlm satu bilik, biar die wat bising sorang2...there's also iron in that room..at first i couldnt figure out what was this iron located in the laundry room, yela kite kan selalunye letak kat bilik ke, mana2 la..but not dekat mesin basuh...

after a while i figured, maybe it was their normal routine to iron their clothes right after washing..coz they always have a 'drain n spin' function on every w/macine.

umah ni fully furnished, so everything ader..n cari yg x furnished cam x berbaloi, coz x tau stay brape lama..tkt beli barang elektrik nnti gunanye x lama mana.

but everyone been saying, this house was a good bargain...quite near to the uni, n supermarket is just around the corner, kedai mkn pun ader..okla...syukur alhamdulillah...

kulit syirah still kering...itu yg wat muka die jadi merah, izzah nyer muka baru nk start kering... kept applying lotion to their face n body...but it doesnt get any better...need to go to the pharmacy i guess n find a more suitable lotion for them..
well that includes me too, using baby lotion tp x elok2 pun kulit..
bile dah kering gatal, bile gatal asyik nk menggaru je...

orait...izzah ni sibuk nk mandi...siap dh buka seluar dah...better go n bath her..

its so hot

since yesterday, the weather is so hot..it exactly feels like the one at home.

hubby said, nonie n my parens in-law were lucky coz during their stay it wasnt as hot as this. cooler n more windy..

skrg ni angin pun xde, mmg rase cam msia masa tgh musim panas...except kat sini u've got to be extra cautious when going out...WEAR UR SUNBLOCKS!!!!

skin cancer rate statictics is quite high here..the ozone layer dah berlubang kat sini..

oops izzah dh bgn tido..gtg...bye

a new start

Salam to all...

Sebak jugak rase bile my parents in-law balik msia hari ni...

we're on our own now...just me, abang, izzah n syirah...
its a new start in a new place...

mudah2an segala2nya dipermudahkan....mudah2an all of us can adapt to the new
environment...issya-Allah, ameen..

nonie dah balik on friday...masa tu dah rase dah kurang family sorang....dah rase lain dah, pastu, my papa n mama balik tu..barulah bebetul rase lain..

sempat jugak jamu papa n mama makan tengahari, kurma telur itik( baru tau sebenarnye duk menggoreng telur rupanye tu telur itik, papa yg bitau, pttla besar semacam je telur kih kih), daging masak telur, n salad...a simple lunch menu.. happy jugak dpt jamu dioang, x tau when will be the next time i'll be cooking for them.

barang dapur dh tinggal sikit, hari ni all stores are closed.. x macam kat msia, hari ahad la sumer kedai bkk, tp kat sini, sabt separuh hari, ahad langsung tutup...sumer orang berehat n spend their quality time with family..

bile dlm keadaan camni, teringat kat nonie, mesti nonie sedih masa papa n mama balik msia masa antar nonie dulu kan... tapi tahan jela, dh mmg adat beljar di negara orang camtu...sacrifce for the better ..

well i really do hope i can benefit my stay here apart from accompanying my husband..
learn new culture n everything...

wish us the best of luck.!!

story story..

izzah, posing out in front of the old car

Salam all,
after 6 days in perth, i think things went well...or is it bcoz my parents in-law are still here and i feel like its only another holiday trip we used to take.

hmm...i guess once we're here all by our self, the feeling will be different.
our social life begins, yelah kalu x mesti rase sunyi n susah jgk if something happened and there's no one to ask for help.

oooh talking about that, today hubby went out to change the car's tire (btw hubby bought a second hand toyota camry for only RM1500...gilerr ader ke keta harga camtu...cam kelakar je....but its an old car anyway.)on the way back..tetiba keta mati....sib baik tgh turun bukit ..kalu naik bukit abislah....alhamdulillah sempat parking safely....panic jgk sbb time tu he was alone, and luckily my father in-law is still here, so aderla og nk minta tolong..last2 survey keta 2nd hand lain sbb keta tu dah kuwar2 asap hitam sumer...

finally jumpa a 2nd hand honda accord...okla price pun reosanable...alhamdulillah..

syirah is having flu and cough...aritu dh baik tetiba sakit balik..by monday kalu x ok, kene bawk jumpa paedritician...risau jgk... pipi die merah...memula ingatkan konon2 sbb sejuk la pipi merh, rupanye kulit die kering...kene sapu losyen tetiap hari..

kesian kat syirah...maybe she's not used to the weather...all the msian routine on taking bath is totally out, skrg the kids mandi sekali je.. pagi is too cold for them, so mandi kul 4-5pm tu is just nice..sbb time tu tgh panas.. kalu lewat sket, the wind is getting colder... i hope she'll get better soon, x sanggup dgr die merenyek...

ok, nk tido..will be posting again soon...wassalam...

Finally....im in perth

Salam all....

Alhamdulillah ..im finally in perth now ...

Hubby went earlier to find a place for me n the kids to stay.
i couldnt imagine myself living alone with the kids..but im truely grateful to my family n my in-laws for helping me a lot during my parting with hubby.

arrival in perth..
arrived at 3pm, alhamdulillah everything went well during immigration check and
declare counter. hubby has already waited for us outside the arrival gate, n was shocked to see not only me n the kids arrice but also his parents n sister arrive as well..yes2...he's not the only one yg terkejut...i too was shocked...
before the actual departure date, myfather in-law siap cakap," x yah minta apa2 assistant kat check in counter nanti , papa dh arrange nanti ader 3 escort yg akan teman sampai ke australia"
dalam kepala ni dah pening...dulu masa aidil pegi, tanya kat org MAS tu, die kata xde single person escorting, die wat in group...ke ader agensi yg handle memende nih..cheh,,terer bapak mertua aku....die leh cari agensi tu ek...

sekali tu masa kat airport, tteiba diorang dtg ngan beg masing2..rupa2nye diorang la escort tu..isk isk isk...tipah tertipu...

oo back to my arrival...aidil pun ckp oooh tipu ek...kata nk dtg sorang...n so i told him everyting...

happynyer jumpa hubby..yelah berpisah 2 minggu la katakan....tp aidil kene sunburn sket,,,cuaca currently panas..n the breeze is quite dry...

even me, after 2 days here, kulit kering..izzah pun bibir kering...kesian kat diorang la sbb they are dehydrated tp x haus...sama condition cam ddk dlm air-cond..nk suro minum air pun ssh sbb x rase haus...camner tuh...issh tp suro la jgkm sikit pun jadilaa..

rumah..n so onafter the reunion with hubby kat airport, we went to our house yg dah disewa oleh aidil..ok gak umah tu...sama cam umah yg dulu, except die ader laman depan umah..
rumah lama kene tinggak so kene kemas sket, sapu yg mana patut n bersihkan yg mana perlu...ikutkan hati nk ubah je semua..tp xleh la umah org..kang owner terkezut lak tengok umah die sendiri..

after letak2 barang n rehat2..malam tu dh start masak sbb hubby pun dh beli barang sket..kat australia, barang2 dapur, mostly leh dpt cam kat msia, expect die mahal sekt la...tp xpela selang2 ngan makanan western sket...kitaorang sekeluarga pun mmg selalu camtu makan camtu, ader hari2 makan local dis(masia) n ader hari2 makan omputih...macam2 la..tgk buku resipi omputih n tengok website jamie oliver n nigella...hihi love them both...

menu malam tu kari ayam, sayur bayam , telur goreng,daging goreng cili kering..
kekok je masak sbb dapur baru n equipment masak baru...tp bolehla...lelama tu nanti adjust la nanti.. kitaorang makan dengan jayanye sbb lapar n for hubby die kata dah lama x makan cam ni.... ceh bangga la kejap jadi isteri...cheh bagus tul aku ni..tp sekejap je la...

household equipments..besoknye (18hb) n today beli barang equipmensts umah.
barang dapur beli kat supermarket nama coles...die cam carrefour laa...cuma xde barang letrik sumer(vacuum, etc) cuma barang berkenaan dapur je..

tadi gi Big W, di ecam carrefour jugak tp concentration more on household equipments .

byk jugak abis duit tp all that is neseccary, cam bantal, jug air, lap dapur, n baju budak2...nk beli yg tebal sket...ya Allah to tell the cloths....

tomorrow x tau lagi...maybe nk jalan2 ngan my in-laws, keje umah ni banyak lagi, tp x pela nnti tunggu hujung tahun lak leh jumpa..itupun kau dpt balik..

well that's all for now...nnti i'll write some more..
