Arisza Wiryawan in KL

My cousin Risza from Jakarta was in KL for his friend's wedding last weekend so we got to meet him for a few hours in Pavillion a day before he went back. The last time i met him was last year when we went to Indo to celebrate Raya.

He is known as the joker among our family so you can imagine how difficult it was for us to stop laughing everytime he's around.


We're glad to meet any relatives from Indo whenever they come to KL either for leisure or work and hope that we'll all be able to visit them next year.

Last Minute Raya with Ngeks

Raya won't be complete without celebrating it with Ngeks. Eventhough Syawal had just left us and it was already 1st Zulkaedah but we still planned to meet with full Raya attire at Faez's in laws in Rawang. Ein & Nury couldn't make it at the last minute so it was just 3 families out of 5.

It's been quite a while since we met and we were glad to finally catch up with each other. The kids also enjoyed themselves.

Photo session is a must when we meet and Hadi was ever ready with his camera and tripod.

Ngeks sans Ein and Nury.

Good luck to Faez who is due to deliver her second baby in December.

Twenty Three Months

There's exactly one more month left to go before Leia turns TWO! I've promised myself when I first started this blog that i will post an entry every 8th of the month until Leia turns two eventhough i don't have any photos or interesting stories to tell.

Luq & Leia's Traintastic Adventure

Luq & Leia had never been on a train before so last Friday my mum was on leave and we decided to take the kids for a train ride. The initial plan was to take the Putra LRT from Wangsa Maju to KL Sentral and from there take the KLIA Express to KLIA but the ticket price to KLIA was RM35 for an adult's 1 way trip, which means that we'd have to pay RM140 for 2 adults trip! So we decided to take the Putra LRT to KL Sentral and later take the ERL to a shorter distance which was Putrajaya.

We left the house around 11am that day and the kids were so excited. Just look at their happy faces.

Luq & Leia couldn't keep still on the train. Luckily it was a non- peak hour so there were not many people.

As soon as we reached KL Sentral, we went to McDonalds first to take away some nuggets and fries so that the kids could eat in the train since it was already almost noon. Then we went to buy the tickets to Putrajaya at the ERL counter. We didn't have anywhere to go in Putrajaya so we just chilled at the station and waited for the next train to KL Sentral.

Since we already had McDs earlier, my mum decided that we have our late lunch at KLCC.I thought that Leia will sleep on the way from Putrajaya to KL Sentral bcoz she was running everywhere at the Putrajaya station so but she only dozed off when we almost reached KL Sentral. As soon as we reached KL Sentral, i told my mum that we'd have to find a place to sit bcoz i couldn't carry Leia all the way to KLCC and the LRT would be packed anyways bcoz it was lunch hour. So we waited for about 1/2 hour and by the time we were ready, Leia was already up and fully 'recharged'.


It was already almost 3pm when we reached KLCC so most of the people who were working had gone back to their office. We had our late lunch at Dome and after that went to the supermarket and later went home just in time before the Friday evening peak hour.


As you can see from the above photo, Luq almost dozed off on our way back bcoz he didn't even sleep throughout our trip. I just can't describe how happy i am seeing Luq & Leia's happy faces that day. Hopefully 1 day i'll get to bring them on the KLIA Express. So in summary, here's our trip for that day:
Wangsa Maju> KL Sentral> Putrajaya > KL Sentral> KLCC> Wangsa Maju
