Assalamualaikum all. 

Semester concluded in early February, and I have not been home for a while and my one and only niece will be starting school in few days - so after settling everything i should have here in Gombak, purchased my one way ticket GWD-KBR. 

It was a fortnight before Ramadhan and I was doing some maths in my head, calculating whether or not i should head back to Gombak or stay at home? 1st Ramadhan arrived and in the first week I decided that I'll stay. My tuition all had been completed since the SPM exam already over. One thing for sure is I would be unemployed for a while haha

The last time I had Ramadhan with my family was during Covid 19 and before covid, it was very rare to be at home for the whole Ramadhan. Alhamdulillah 'ala kulli hal. 

The routine is actually about the same every single day. For sahur, biasanya ayah will tanak nasi, panaskan apa yang patut, buat air & lepas tu baru lah kami the girls including mom woke up haha. Kemudian, he will say - sedak lah demo, siap belako baru bangun hahah. Tima kasih ayoh! On school days, fetch my sister from school around 2 pm & cuaca masa bulan puasa sangatlah panas ya. Petang lepas asar, pergi beli kuih di Kebakat atau tempat2 yang terdekat. Some days mom ikut, some days she didnt. Menu wajib yang ada onde-onde dan nasi manis & air nyior for dad. My drink pulak would be coffee day in day out haha

Ayah will always make sure yang minyak kete always refuelled for me to drive and suruh my brother untuk pergi isikan minyak every time and at times I will do it myself haha sebab kesiankan nyoh sokmo kena g isi minyak ko pudik hihi

Iftar will consist of me, mok ayah and my sister (sometimes with nyoh n pulong). First day puasa mok buat puding karamel, so sedappp! We used to makan mi goreng @ kue teow - maksudnya tak makan nasi terus masa buka puasa tapi sebab dah kurang ahli, makan jah nasi terus, easier for mom nak memasak. Yes, mom cooks not me huhu. Lepas tu terawih for the first time ever, i went to surau sekolah. Reason - sebab my mom pergi situ with cikyah misi. Ayah pun tarawih situ jugak. Usually, me and mom went to balasoh tapi kena lintas jalan besar ada traffic light. 

My dad will always every single night without fail keluarkan/turunkan sesiap moto untuk saya bawak g surau (we went separately sebabnya saya siap lambat haha). Terima kasih! And dekat surau, most of the time lepas habis witir i will dashed out quickly - scared of meeting ppl i know from school haha (me being introvert).

One night, lepas balik terawih - i had some bad headache dari siang. Ayah knocked on my room door and tanya, Dik, nak minyak cap kapak ko? Kalu nak ayah nak g beli lalu ni dea kedai tutup. I was like, takpo ayoh, ada doh minyak nih. Walaupun anaknya nih dah besar panjang, huhu. Kasih ibu membawa ke syurga, kasih ayah selama-lamanya... 

Some days, mom ajak pergi pasar - cari ikan and kain telekung (dont know the number of telekung she had, various colors, patterns) tapi tetaplah beli kain semayang baru haha. 

Oh, and this year kuih raya yang saya buat cuma lah popia sambal dan juga biskut florentine cookies. 

Begitulah. Thank you Allah. Semoga ada rezeki kita semua bertemu dengan Ramadhan akan datang.

Assalamualaikum everyone. 

I said before that i have never bought my own watch because my dad liked to gift it to me so yup. This time around, i feel like wanting to have a leather strip watch - bcoz all i have now is kinda metal type (is the term correct?)

I told my dad so, and next i knew he asked me to go to the watch shop with him. But he said before hand, to choose the one with the metal strap like usual - the leather one would be easily damaged and luntur. Hmm okay, let's see.

We went to the shop and turned out there weren't many options with the leather strip. I try to find the ones with date and day coz i liked it, but the watch that i finally chose was without them. I was considering, okay la because the other watches i have already have them, so i can do without for this new one. 

And at this point, I am paying. I did not ask my dad to pay haha even though he was also busy picking one for himself. At the end of the day, he paid for me haha and for his watch which was much more expensive than mine. Thing is, if i knew he will pay, i surely am gonna pick another watch hahaha

Alhamdulillah. Thank you to my dad. Here are the photos i snapped in jumbled up order coz im lazy like that :p 

simple but a beauty still <3

he's paying coz he's the boss tqqq :D
