Quick updates..

Been lazy to write lately. Too many things to tell sampai tak tercerita. So here goes..
Quick updates after a month merantau di negeri orang …

• Kitorang dah beli kereta..yay.. Ihsan has been ‘patah kaki’ for almost a month..now dah ada kereta, panjang lah sikit langkah kitorang..(boleh sampai Sydney kot..he..he…) It’s a second hand car jer..Bought it for $2000, Mitsubishi Magna, wagon type 2.6 cc. Besar sikit cc sebab susah nak dapat kereta cc rendah kat sini. Minyak mahal sikit lah (minyak Malaysia still murah walaupun dah naik 30sen.. aren’t you glad you are living in Malaysia? ..ya..ya.. I can hear lotsa dissatisfied voice regarding the price hike.. but let just not talk politic here..shall we…*wink* ) Minyak sini harga tiap-tiap hari tukar. Price ranging from $1.14 - $1.22 per litre. Orang kat sini kata, isi minyak penuh on Tuesday (when the gas is at the cheapest)..because usually by Wednesday harga akan start naik balik…And also, if you shop at the store here (mcm Giant ler kalau kat Malaysia) above $30 in a single receipt, you can get 4cent rebate per litre. Good kan…
  Oh.. Taufiq got a new ‘car’ too.. to replace his $10 second hand stroller.
  
  
• Garage sale here is heaven. Stuffs sold at a VERY cheap price. Best thing is, barang tu semua still in good condition..cantik lagi. We went to garage sale hunting last Saturday. Antara hasilnya :
  
  
  • Bedsheet and quilt cover Laura Ashley for $1
    
  • Car seat Taufiq- $10. Kat sini even baby has to have his own seat, strapped to a baby car seat. Amirah pun kena pakai car seat or a booster. If I am not mistaken the rule applies to children under the age of 5.
    
  • Washing machine + table fan - $90. (Thank God for the fan.. you have no idea how hot it can get.. panas lain macam sket kat sini… )
    
  • Toys (including Fisher’s Price!) 3 plastic bags for $2..main sumbat dalam plastic bag jer..
    
  
  
  One thing I notice here is that people just can’t wait to get rid of their unused or old stuffs. Regardless still cantik lagi or not, if they feel they have no use of it anymore, then jual murah pun tak pe (some give away for free), as long as it is out of their sight.
  
  
• Kat sini pun ada barang2 nak masak masakan melayu. I found pandan leaves, lengkuas, kulit kayu manis..cengkih daun kari..limau purut ..even maggi pun siap tulis ‘perencah kari’ ..made in Malaysia punya.. durian pun ada… you just need to know where to find them…
  
  
• My new project is tanam pokok bunga. My flower bed still penuh dengan rumput2 and pokok2 liar.. now dalam process nak clear kan all those things.. will update on this later. Maybe lepas nampak bunga kot…he..he.. hope so.
  
  
• My favourite TV show during the day would be Oprah and Ready,Steady Cook.. and err.. Australian games show like Wheel of Fortune, Deal or no Deal, and Family Feud. How lame is that!! I guess it comes in package when I signed up for the post of Fulltime Housewife! .. FYI, here.. Desperate Housewife is uptodate… Lost is sooo lost..still first season..and there’s this new series, titled Comander in Chief, starring Geena Davis as President of United State.. Okay.. I’d better stopped before I sounded more corny.. :P
  

Hmm.. panjang la plak post kali ni… Tengah ada mood and rajin menulis..plus the kids all dah tido. So, if next time you visit here.. I started putting up pictures instead of writing.. then you should know..angin malas dah datang balik.. till later!
