New foreigner friend??? ^^

Dear Readers,

How are you lately? I'm fine its just I am too busy these days as its peak seasons for the year. Luckily I schedule my trip after peak seasons so I guess I can enjoy a lot! ^^ Talking about trip, recently one of my foreigner friend came over to my hometown and spend few days together. ^^

People around asking me where did you found so many foreigner friends? Well I join one particular site for learning language called Interpal. If you curious to know or getting new foreigner friend, you can visit here. However please beware!! Not every people on internet were good, some of them were really annoying and what else I should say??? Dangerous??!

Back to my stories,this new friend, I didn't get to know her from that site. Actually his brother is one of my foreigner friend and he visited me on last January. As he was comfortable and very happy while at my place he suggest her sister to come and visit me. ^^ He's on charity road trip and will finish soon. You may check it at my previous entry.

Technically I haven't meet his sister before so at the beginning I was kind of nervous as I didn't know her personality well. We did chat on Facebook but sometimes people are unpredictable. I kept asking her brother though! Hahhahah!!^^~ 

After several chat session finally its time to meet up!! ^^ I was excited yet nervous as well!! ^^* Some of you may laugh at it, because I am nervous of meeting a same gender!! LOL! The things is, its happen because I haven't meet her before, when we meeting strangers sometimes we might feel like this especially when we know a person through the net I guess.

My first impression towards her is she's so polite and friendly! Pheww!! I feel good! ^^ So I bring her home and we ate something. While waiting for my friend, we keep chatting. ^^ Then me and my friend bring her to Malay traditional wedding. 

She was very happy to experience it and really try our traditional cuisine! Some of our traditional cuisine were spicy but she enjoying it so much. ^^ The funny thing is I didn't eat our traditional cuisine because its spicy and I don't like it! Hahhah, ^^~ so my relatives asking which one is a foreigner actually?? and hearing that make both of us burst laugh! :P

After that, we bring her to one of attraction at my hometown.The name of that place is Lata Meraung, its a waterfall. ^^  Looking at those natural beauty makes us relaxing and reducing our stress. We did snap some pictures there. ^^ 

Then we bring her to "pasar malam" or known as night market. At this place there are so many Malaysian cuisine and that's make her eyes like @_@! Hahha, same like her brother when he's here! LOL. We bought "nasi lemak" (national breakfast set) but this cuisine also allowed to eat at any time ^^. We also bought dragon fruit, and some other Malaysian snack. Nyum Nyum!! :D 

Our hands were full with cuisine! Then we heading to our next destination which is I-city. We have a simple picnic there and enjoying our night :D You may check my previous entry about my home town attraction here. 

On the next day, my family brought her to other district, not far from my hometown. We went to Lanchang to visit the elephant sanctuary and to deer land. My nieces and nephew were really excited even though this is not their first time there! Hahhaha! After a tired day, we went to visit one of my relatives to have lunch. :D

Monday will be the last day for her to be at my hometown. T.T Before she continue her trip we met for the last time. I let her trying our national clothes called "baju kurung", she looks very pretty wearing it! ^^ After showing her my trip pictures and getting some advice from her for my upcoming trip we bought our breakfast and ate it at office! 

It's time to go, I feel quite sad though. She told me to visit her at Germany and she offer to bring me to Switzerland too! Hmm thinking about it, I think I should start save from now!!! Hahahh!! Looking at her, makes me confident and can't wait for my upcoming trip!! I know I can do it! ^^

My Eid Mubaraq! ^^

Dear readers,

It's been around 2 weeks of Eid Mubaraq, but I haven't got any chance to say something. I think this is a good chance to say it as I'm finally re-arrange my schedule! Anyway what I wanna say is  "sorry if I ever made any mistakes toward any of you." During Eid Mubaraq, Muslim will congratulate each other on succeed to finish their fasting and succeed to hold themselves from their own lust. Apart from that they also asking forgiveness from each other.

This year, my Eid Mubaraq celebration was one of the greatest moment entire of my life! ^^ Since its been so long we never able to gather most of us at one time. A day before Eid Mubaraq, most of my siblings were at home and I'm working half day. When I reached home everybody were busy with their roles. We were making "ketupat" and "lemang" as well. :D My teenage nieces were busy cooking for the last day of breakfasting. I guess its time for them to show off their cooking skills? :P

Then at night, my nephew lid up the light and kids were playing fireworks together. ^^ It was so nice! :D After a very hectic day everybody got really tired and went to sleep. On Eid Mubaraq (first day) as usual, kids were the most happiest as they will get cash from adult, it was called as "duit raya". Looking at them queuing, I laugh myself thinking about my childhood experienced. ^^~ As I got 12 siblings, and most of them were married, so I got so many nieces and nephews! Hahha! That's why we ask them to line up to make sure that everybody got "duit raya"! The funny things is some of us write on "duit raya" packs so that we didn't miss any of them. LOL!

After giving "duit raya" session, it's time to capture some nice photos! So we gather in front of my house and find a good spot to snap family photos and kids photos! Almost every year, there will be new face in photos! Hahhah! My family keep growing every single year! ^^ People keep asking me is it great to have a big family??? Well the answer is YES!!!! It's awesome! Having a big family is a bless from God!! The feeling of  full shower of love is really nice!^^*

p/s: Thank you for my office mate for visiting me during Eid Mubaraq! For more information about "ketupat and lemang, please click on the link below. :)
