---~@ Some Day @~---

Today is one of those perfect days, weather-wise, for this time of year. A kind of summer-autumn hybrid where the weather doesn't quite seem to have made up its mind. And yet today its still unmistakeably Autumn, i think. do u think so? nvm

I walked out of the door this morning, and, for the second (really? i cant remember) time this year, I could see my breath on the air. The car windows were still wet in the weak morning sun. As I drove my wife to work, leaving the edge of our town centre for the fields and farmland the sun was trying its best to shine through the haze, but not quite managing it. And, revealing an almost frosty landscape shimmering in the morning sun.

Its warmer now (they say) but i think its getting colder and colder, the sun has gathered its strength, and won the battle with the early morning clouds (today tho..). But there's still that slight edge to the warmth, the chill which cooled my breath this morning, and will freeze the dew drops tonight. That crispness that catches my breath, that waves goodbye to summer, and brings with it the promise of winter!

This kind of weather dares you not to feel down, challenges you to look on the positive side. Worries unfortunately do not disappear as easily as the morning mist, but you can still enjoy the sun meanwhile. Pleasure in the simple things.

And with that, since i have an appointment today, i better get on my way and oh yes, enjoying the sun!.

P.S today's appointment...i hope it wont cost me so much!

until then

---~@ Kakak goes to school @~---

"Mama,.. i want to go to school.. pleaseee.." Ayat yang selalu keluar dari mulut si kakak semenjak sebulan yang lepas. Sejak kami bawak dia pegi sekolah untuk sesi pendaftaran. Walaupun telah banyak kali jawapan diberi, soalan yang sama masih tetap diutarakan.. hmmm budak2 zaman sekarang. So, last week pada tanggal 27 hb Oktober 2008, si kakak memulakan sesi persekolahannya. "Sekolah makan2" istilah biasa orang kita.. Tapi si kakak cukup happy. Yelah, tak sabar nak berjumpa teacher dan kawan2 barunya. Hmm lihatlah gambar2 di bawah ni. Gambar2 ni diambil sebelum dia memulakan kelas.

Depan sekolah.. Mariaschool namanya

Yang ni lak kat dalam kelas,.. masih malu2..

Apa2pun yang kitorang tahu, kakak happy. Tiap2 hari excited nak gi school. Jumpa kawan2. Kawan baik pun ada. Cuma.. sampai ke hari ini masih tak tahu sapakah namanya.. hahahaaa...

Pagi2 keluar gi kerja, terperanjat aku..! Teruknya berkabus ari nih?! Nasib baik cik abang yang antar. Rasa2nya dari pandangan mata kasar cuma boleh nampak sejauh 50 meter. Tak lebih dari itu! Tiba2 teringat lak citer "The Mist" yang aku baru tonton seminggu yang lepas. Tapi yang ni xla se'scary' citer tuh.. siap ada sotong kurita yang entah berapa kali ganda besar dr manusia pun aku tak tahulah.. Betul ke sotong kurita? Hehee whatever!

Gambar ni diambil masa kami dalam flight utk balik ke Malaysia pada 26 September yang lepas. Bertolak dari Amsterdam jam 12 tengahari. Tak sabar rasanya nak berjumpa family. Malaysia.. here we come!

Si kakak tengah menjamu selera sambil menonton movie

Setelah 12 jam lamanya perjalanan, pagi 27 September jam 0640 kami tiba di KLIA. Ni tengah tunggu beg. Lupa nak tukar time kat camera, masih lagi waktu Holland.. ehhee

Jam 7 lebih baru leh kuar. Mak, abah dan adik2 dah tunggu. Pakcik dan makcik dari Nilai pun ada. Terharunya.. rindu betul dengan semua. So, kami pun lepaklah kat airport je, borak2.. memandangkan kami akan berlepas ke KK pada jam 12 tghari. Penat tak tahu nak cakaplah. Sehari suntuk travel. Budak2 la kesian..
