It's a Malay word that means spider webb. I meant that for my blog site here. It has been awhile since I last wrote. It has not been easy to write the last week weeks or so. Life will always go on whether you want it or not.
Many things has happened since my last update. We went our first "Expat" holiday since we arrived in Gamba. The family (all big & small of us) went for a great two weeks holiday in London and later Paris. It has been years since my husband & I ever visited London again. The main tourist attraction like Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, Paddington Square remains the same... with some new paintwork here and there.
We discovered a new place somewhere in London, the area called Bayswater. I certainly love it because not only does it has NOT one but THREE Malaysian restaurant. Call me patriotic or not, but I miss Malaysian food after almost 7 months since we left the country. Can't wait for our journey back home this summer holiday. Malaysiaku Tercinta!!!!
Okay, coming back to the family holiday. Alhamdulillah, we are able to bring the children for our first overseas holiday in where I think is one of the most famous city in the world. I don't know whether they realise how lucky they are because when I was growing up, going to London would be like going to the Moon because my family was well off. My childhood holidays was always going back to my parents hometown in Engkelili or Betong. In fact that's how I thought everyone school holiday's were until I went to secondary school where my posher classmates starts talking about their holidays in KL and Singapore.
So my girls and boys are very lucky to visit London at such a young tender age. We went to Museums, London Zoo (fantastic!) and of course, shopping must be included. Including every single supermarkets we saw... Tesco, Good old Sainsbury, Waitrose. I marvel at the selection of fresh fruits, vege, bread, everything they had to sell. Next we flew to Paris to bring Aliyah to Disneyland because she didn't come for the Gabon preview trip when we (+ the older two girls) went to Disneyland Paris. Suffice to say, it was the hi-lite of the girls trip because they get to go on Space Mountain ride and Aliyah's favourite "Drive your own car thingy"....
Excellent holiday definitely but we were equally happy to be reaching Gamba after our two weeks sojourn. We do miss our home, for now it is in Gamba and we will cherish it as long as we are here.
So as always, Life goes on here. Sometimes good, sometimes not so pleasant.
Till next time, Insya-ALLAH.
